2012 goals and bucket list update – July

read through the entire Bible – New Testament: check. Old Testament: currently slogging through the “so and so son of so and so’s” in 1 Chronicles, but sticking with it

get my healthy lifestyle back, specifically to lose the 20-25 pounds I’ve gained since getting married. – We extended our 30 day real food challenge into a 100 day challenge (we’re a little over halfway through). I’ve lost 10 pounds since we started this challenge, but that really only means -5 pounds in relation to my goal of losing 20-25 this year (because I had actually gained 5 more than my starting weight before we started our real food challenge). So 20 more to lose is my goal (and what my doctor instructed).

grow something – We’ve gotten quite a few popper tomatoes (the little ones) from one of our tomato plants, the other plant (big ones) has yielded three tomatoes but I think we have it in a too small pot so it hasn’t done very well. I’ve used chives, basil, parsley, and oregano from our garden, too. Our aloe plant has shown some improvement, and I actually used it last week on my sunburn!
